Minnesota Lawyer announced the honorees in its third annual Unsung Legal Heroes Awards. The awards are meant to honor support staff employees who have consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty in their work.
This year’s honorees were nominated by colleagues, supervisors, and the staff of Minnesota Lawyer. Employees were eligible in seven different staff categories: Secretary/legal administrative assistant/miscellaneous support staff; paralegal/judicial clerk; administrator/office manager; librarian; accounting staff; information technology staff; and marketing staff.

A lunch will be held at noon September 22 to recognize this year’s honorees. Congratulations to everyone.
